I saw it too. Ukick's scout skills do not translate well to video editing.
It's right before you beat that sniper to death.

Sure, randomly poofing someone is easy. Effectively poofing someone I find much harder.

I think Fxeni and evilseed, maybe ukick (he doesn't play much though), are our only great poofers. Everyone else is still learning, including me. I seem to reflect about half the time, have trouble with air stickies, and don't yet have the timing right for the flame>poof>axe.

So according to Mex saying Psych's friend was a demo, I'd have to geuss it was Grunt. I didn't see any other consistant demo class last night, but I'd be surprised if it was his first time in TF2. He didn't seem like a beginner at all.

I just like poofing arrows back at Nuean, and poofing mannes off cliffs.

Is that what your vision turns into when you go tauntmode ukick? Complete with the slow mo evil laugh?

Really, we only need a poofer-poofer. There, fixed!

Ohhh haha, I didn't even see that. It was one life though, I remember doing that now, I just cut out the part where I ran back from the cap room because nothing happened.

A couple of pyros on the server are quite good at reflecting my rockets. I usually take note and shoot off to the side, doing less damage but avoiding the risk of getting reflected. There are a couple of other tricks, though :)

That doesn't work, by the way. It doesn't matter where on the screen the rocket is you can poof it directly to where you are aiming. Poofing rockets and grenades takes very little skill. I'd say it is one of the simplest things in the game (next to ubering and poofing a person). It takes good (if not very precise) timing but it is pretty much hit right mouse button at the right time while looking at the soldier. Poofing rockets is really about getting the timing right (like computer golf or kicking in madden but without the visual cue telling you when to hit the button). It's much harder with faster weapons like the direct hit because the timing isn't as loose as it is with a standard rocket. I'm not saying anyone can do it. Just that the steps required to do it are quite simple.

Poofing an uber away is pretty easy. The hard part is living through it.

The other night, I don't remember what map it was on, I poofed a demo up in the air and when he came down it was like he got stuck on the wall right over my head. Almost as if he were standing on my head. So I just looked up and set his ass on fire till he died.

Weird, but it made me chuckle.

It doesn't work when it's out of their horizontal range...

How does one go about joining the private server on Monday and Friday? I'm in the TF2 Steam Group.

I don't think the poofer is overpowered. If anything, they should increase the range of the thing to hit people on the other side of the map and widen it to 360 degree. The thing is damn near useless as it is right now.

Phish, when are you going to play again? Is it time to send baby to fight?

Man 3 server crashes the last half hour or so.

I'm thinking weeks at this point. Let's just say I'm looking forward to more than two hours of sleep in a row, and more than four in any given 24 hour period. No offense, but I'd rather sleep than hang out with you assholes

Better get used to it. There's a reason your parents look like they do (a lot of reasons actually, but you are one the first big one).

I'm offended. I challenge you to a duel, sir!

You'll duel a mann with baby in hand? What kind of mann are you?!

Sometimes games are more important than sleep.

So this showed up at ToyFair:

IMAGE(http://toyfair2011.figures.com/data/616/DSCF1578.JPG)

It's from Gaming Heads, so it'll probably run $30 or so, but hey, better than $300 or whatever they get for the big statues.

The important question is, does it come with a sandwich?

Natascha? Who uses Natascha anymore since the nerf?

$30 is a price point I can get behind. The others were priced way too high for my taste.

I demand interchangeable hats!

That's not really Natascha. The ammo belt thing is from Natascha but the gun itself is clearly Sasha.

I've been nerding out on TF2 a lot lately, any chance I can get an invite to the GWJ TF2 group? My steam ID is Valmorian.

Saw you on the Pub the night before. You did good spy checking and (tried) helping the engi. Welcome!

So apparently we had some warping on the new private server last night. What do you guys think about disabling Sourcemod/Metamod for a couple of rounds tonight with a full private server? Maybe that will shed some light on the issue.
